Gnats killing birds

Sorry for your losses and I commend you for going to the state lab for a necropsy! Smart move IMO, and most of all thank you for passing on the info so other can protect their flocks! Your awesome!

Awe thank you so much! I dont feel awesome but at least ive stopped the insanity. The peace of mind from knowing what a dr says happened is really something im holding onto.

Peace of mind is totally worth the necropsy fees...what ever they may be.

I call them flies. I hate them!

Here is one story about them:

Yes ma'am i had it back in the day but i had just restarted in poultry about 6 months ago. I had battled all the other pests and these sprayings were next just because i want to be able to bring my children outside. I just had no idea they were so horrible. What i had called flies are house flys they blow up on the fruit off the trees each spring. i was prepared for and handled them as well as the fleas who do the same boom and the ants... from now on ill know to spray from the first sign each year.

Only 50$ after fees but im within driving distance of the lab so i didnt have to wait on or pay extra for expedited postage.

I'd pay it in a heartbeat.
I bet you were freaking out there for a little while.

They were only 2 months old ive got 26 eggs saved up since Easter and ive set them
